Lotsa big ugly "palm bugs" AKA Florida cockroaches, noseeums and other annoyances.. I was tired of paying those guys every time one of those huge suckers scared the hell out of my wife so on someone else's advice on this forum I bought a bottle of Talstar P and a sprayer and followed the online instructions and haven't seen ANY bugs in 2 years. 30 minutes of spraying around the outside every 3-4 months. Been using the same quart for 2 years and have probably another 2 years left in the bottle.

Do you spray it inside garage, lanai, or house or only outside perimeter? How many times a year apply - and do you reapply after a heavy extended rain?

We use Florida Pest. They come regularly and spray outside along the eaves and the ground around the house. They spray inside the garage. They will come inside and treat if we request and/or have an issue. They apparently do a very good job as we don't have any issues with bugs inside. Occasionally we'll find a dead one near the front door inside...usually after a cold snap when they want to get where it's warm...so the treatment works. I'm told they don't like to cross the barrier, and if they do, they're history.

I have them spray in the garage. I'm surprised how much can get there. I also use Catch Master strips in the garage.

I use Village Pest Service. They come every three months and spray outside along the eaves and the ground around the house. They spray inside the garage and the lanai. They come inside and treat around the baseboards in all rooms, baths and closets. I have used Village Pest Service since 2008. They do a great job as I don't have any issues with bugs inside. I also use Village Pest Service for termite inspections and irrigation maintenance.

I don't reapply after a heavy rain. Because of the lifespan Taurus sc is not rated for indoor use. Taurus sc is the generic name. |

I use Massey $60 a quarter, he sweeps the eves and puts down several bug killing chemicals OUTSIDE the house. It was explained to me by the super who walked me thru my new home that you don't want chemicals sprayed inside your home. Seems to work for me.

I diy with Ortho house defense once a year on the outside ground level and eaves; also inside on the floor on all exterior walls and in the garage. When you do inside you should leave the house for 3 to 4 hrs until the spray dries. Safe for pets after it is dry.
